Community Strategic Plan

We want you, your colleagues, friends and neighbours to guide and help shape our vision for the Tweed by participating in the creation of the Community Strategic Plan.

The visions in the Community Strategic Plan will reflect your aspirations and priorities and those of the whole community, so it is important you participate and have your say.

What do you believe are the most important goals for the Tweed over the next 10 years? What is your vision? Is there something that is more important to you now than it was a few years ago? Have your say and shape a vision for the Tweed.

The 2011/2021 Tweed Community Strategic Plan is built around the four themes of Civic Leadership, Supporting Community Life, Strengthening the Economy, and Caring for the Environment. What are your ideas and what are the important things Council and the community must do in each of these areas?

PLEASE NOTE THIS ONLINE FORUM WILL CLOSE AT 5.00pm MONDAY 8 NOVEMBER
